Review by Cub Koda
After being rediscovered by the folk-blues community in the early
'60s, Son House rose to the occasion and recorded this magnificent
set of performances. Allowed to stretch out past the shorter running
time of the original 78s, House turns in wonderful, steaming performances
of some of his best-known material. On some tracks, House is supplemented
by folk-blues researcher/musician Alan Wilson, who would later become
a member of the blues-rock group Canned Heat and here plays some nice
second guitar and harmonica on several cuts. This two-disc set features
alternate takes, some unissued material and some studio chatter from
producer John Hammond, Sr. that ocassionally hints at the chaotic nature
inherent to some of these '60s "rediscovery" sessions. While not as
overpowering as his earlier work (what could be?), all of these sides are
so power packed with sheer emotional involvement from House, they're an
indispensable part of his canonade.
